Hey, the plastic didn't rust.

Should buff right out.

I doubt you could do any more damage to the barrel if he accidentally whacked it couple times with a mallet. He's probably going to need a good penetrating oil to break up the rust. I'd stand it in a small container slide down to avoid any potential damage to the frame, but at this point it may be moot.

Hard lesson to learn about storage though.

Make sure it's not loaded before doing.anything.

Glock perfection !

How do I avoid my gun turning to **** like that thing did? Just clean and layer with some CLP every 2-3 months?

Don't ever store it any any type of case long term, especially cloth or foam that attract and hold moisture.

I have had some revolvers and pistols in storage for years and never had something like that. with all the guns i have it can get easy to be overlooked for more than a couple of years but the only gun I have seen this bad was a S&W 38 chief's special and it took three days to get it to rotate, open, and remove the rounds my mother left in it. It was my fathers and she swore she never touched it which turned out to be a lie since she let a nephew use it to target practice with in the hills and he never cleaned it. Good luck on getting it back in firing order adn I would get new parts or let a gunsmith look at it.

That is total abuse of a firearm.

He should sell what he got?.

I'm not a Glock fanboy nor do I believe in Glock perfection, but it ain't Glock's fault that pistol got buggered-up that bad.

Never use those cloth zippered pads for storage. Use silicone socks if ya want, they're cheap enough.

New slide

Can't you just throw in some silica packets and lubricate the gun with some gun oil or grease or CLP and be safe? The silica should absorb the water moisture and the oil based stuff should be fine for a while longer. Does this logic make sense? I am just trying to think of sensible long term storage solutions that don't involve a gun safe.

Wow thats bad all ive ever experienced is some very light surface rust or fingerprint ool marks. All exposed steel now has a good coating of clp.
It looks like it was at the bottom of a saltwater tackle box

He got it open! Said the barrel is rusted inside and flaking around. He's going to clean and inspect everything and see if he can get away with just replacing barrel. Waiting for some more pics.

Yeah that was my first question for him. LOL
